Finding journal articles and more
Journal articles
The easiest way to find journal articles is to type a few keywords for your topic in LibrarySearch. If you have a specific journal article you are looking for you can use Google Scholar.
To check if the Library has access to a particular e-journal title, or to browse journals, use BrowZine.
You may also want to look for other types of information or search through a large index of articles, books, and conference papers. We have access to many different e-resources to do this.
